Seahawks Secure Play-off Spot with Thrilling Extra Time Victory over Rams.

Game-winning play in overtime

Tight end Saubert made the decisive two-point conversion for the Seahawks.

The Seattle Seahawks staged a stunning comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in extra time, securing their place in the postseason.

Rallying from a 30-14 hole in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks emerged victorious 38-37 at home, registering their fifth straight victory.

While the Rams had already secured a post-season spot earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks booked their return to the postseason after a 24-month hiatus.

With this result, the Seattle now lead their division's race with a twelve and three record, supplanting the Rams, who dropped to the number five seed with an 11-4 standing.

Action Recap

Quarterback Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to make two scoring throws, culminating in the tying TD to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.

The Rams held a 13-7 lead at the break before Walker burst through for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.

Los Angeles cornerback Wallace then returned Darnold's first pick for a big return, setting up a short touchdown by Blake Corum on the next play.

In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Puka Nacua extended the advantage to 30-14, but Shaheed provided the hope with a 58-yard punt return.

Darnold then found Barner in the end zone, and a converted conversion sent the game into overtime.

Although Puka Nacua raced in for his another TD in overtime, Jaxon Smith-Njigba answered in kind to setup the game-winning conversion.
